Regular power EG RP300 graphite electrodes export to Poland

Regular power EG RP300 graphite electrodes export to Poland

The most common diameter of regular power graphite electrodes is 250/300/350/400/500, and the length is generally 1800mm+/-100mm

In Europe market, the RP300mm is the most popular specification, we HAILICARBON factory, have exported to europe market many times, we have rich experience on exporting graphite electrode  

Regular power RP graphite electrode

Graphite electrodes with a current density lower than 17A/cm2 are allowed to be used, which are mainly used in ordinary power electric furnaces such as steelmaking, siliconmaking, and yellow phosphorus smelting.

High Power Graphite Electrodes

It is allowed to use graphite electrodes with a current density of 18-25A/cm2, mainly used in high-power electric arc furnaces for steelmaking.

Ultra High Power Graphite Electrode

, allowing the use of graphite electrodes with a current density greater than 25A/cm2, mainly used in ultra-high power steelmaking electric arc furnaces

The cost of raw materials accounts for a large proportion of the total cost of graphite electrodes, exceeding 65%. The key material of graphite electrode is needle coke. The ultra-high-power electrode made of needle coke for steelmaking can shorten the time of steelmaking by 30% to 50%, save electricity by 10% to 50%, and can effectively reduce Steelmaking costs. One ton of finished UHP graphite electrodes contains 0.85 tons of needle coke, and it takes 1.05 tons of needle coke to produce one ton of UHP graphite electrodes.

The diameter of the graphite electrode is 200-700mm, and its diameter is difficult to exceed 700mm due to the limitation of the molding machine. The length is generally 1800-3000mm, and the domestic mainstream is 1800-2400mm.

Graphite electrodes belong to high energy consumption and high emission industries, and future expansion may be limited in the context of restricting double highs. The production of one ton of graphite electrodes consumes about 1.69 tons of standard coal. According to the conversion method of 1 ton of standard coal and 2.66 tons of carbon dioxide, the carbon emission per ton of graphite electrodes is 4.48 tons, so future expansion may be limited.

Domestic mainstream graphite electrode manufacturers include Fangda Carbon, Jilin Carbon, Kaifeng Carbon, Liaoning Dan Carbon, HailiCarbon, etc.
